OK so this question been bothering me for a while and I need someone to tell me , who really knows about wood.

I'm wondering which is better, nicer, longer lasting, more comfortable for playing props and cons for both

1st has playing field on top of the chess board

And

2nd has playing field inside the chess board

Which is better?

 I dig the playing field on top of a raised platform, it adds luxury because it proves that the squares are not simply a veneer wood.  Plus it adds dimension and a mental concept of thick, sturdy, weightiness, and it looks cool, too.   I would prefer it about half as thick or maybe 1/4 less thick (the raised playing field thickness) but the guy is custom and could probably deliver that, I know coloradowoodworker was worried a bit about warping when doing this, but my chessbazaar board has a raised field that is less thick, and I prefer that.   I don't dig the playing squares only borderless type boards because it just doesn't look/feel right to me.  Looks too small, and I would find it distracting to play on such a board.

one pro to this guy, he gives the option of very beautifully done engraved coordinates.  You'll notice most high end boards you see for sale don't have this.  It's a matter of taste, but there are people that want the coordinates and it's great to have the option!

Good answers thank you 👍

Me personally like wooden boards to be clean of coordinates and like my squares flush with the frame. Wooden boards for me are more of a casual play along with display pieces of art. Coordinates in my opinion ruin the look for me. These are my personal tastes in wooden boards. I have a reproduction of the classic Drueke board with the criss cross cuts. This is my favorite board by far. I had a local woodworker make it out of Walnut and Ash. It is such an awesome wood color contrast. With the chocolate brown of Walnut with the Yellowish hue of Ash. Such of warmth of color contrast. Not to mention the grain patterns of both woods. Ash yellows faster and darker than Maple does as it ages. I also have a Cherry and Maple board with a Walnut strip separating the frame and squares. I cannot wait until that Cherry gets a Crimson Red look to it after it's aging process is complete. It takes years for the look but will add great value to it.

you should post some pics!

I have the pics on my phone but have no clue how to share them here. Kind of new at the smart phone know how.

The first picture is my Cherry & Maple board. The second picture is my reproduction of the classic Drueke board made out of Walnut & Ash.
